 INTRODUCTION

 Many animals have evolved to

exhibit some form of camouflage,
which is an adaptation that allows
animals to blend in with certain
aspects of their environment.
 There are four types of
camouflage

1) Concealing coloration
2) Disruptive coloration
3) Disguise
4) mimicry
1.Concealing
coloration

• the snowy owl’s

beautiful white feathers
help to hide it in its
arctic habitat.
• The green tree frog’s bright green
color helps them to hide
successfully in trees and grass.
• This ability to blend into theis
surrounding may be their best
defence from predators.
 Adult white tail beer have
reddish-brown coats in
summer which fade to a
duller grayish-brown in
winter.
 Their earth tone colors
help keep them hidden
from predators.
2.Disruptive
coloration
• The zebra’s disprutive
coloration helps break up it’s
outline in a herd.
• This makes it difficult for other
animals such as lions to see it.
• The raccoon butterfly fish
uses the black and yellow
coloration patters to
make is hard for a
predator to single out an
individual in a group.
 Leopard’s spotted coats
also called rosette helps
to camouflage them in
grass and tall brush while
they hunt.
3.Disguise

4.Mimicry
camouflage
• The elephant hawk
caterpillar has two false
eyes to frighten off
predators.
• It raises it’s head and
moves from side to side like
a snack.
 The non-poisonous scarlet
kingsnacks,have
coloration and patterning
which can cause
predators to confuse
them with the poisonous
coral snack.
 The viceroy butterfly
mimics the look of the
poisonous monarch
butterfly so that
